With its captivating variegated leaves, this plant demands attention and care. Explore our comprehensive care guide to ensure your Monstera Aurea Variegated thrives and flourishes.

Light Requirements: Monstera Aurea Variegated thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid exposing it to direct sun, as it can scorch the delicate variegated leaves. Place it near a window with sheer curtains or in a well-lit room to provide the optimal lighting conditions.

Temperature: Maintain a consistent temperature between 65-85°F (18-29°C) to keep your Monstera Aurea Variegated happy. Protect it from drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.

Watering: Proper watering is essential for the health of your plant. Allow the top 1-2 inches of the soil to dry out before watering. Be sure to use well-draining soil to prevent overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Water thoroughly and ensure that excess water can drain from the pot.

Humidity: Monstera Aurea Variegated thrives in high humidity levels. Consider using a humidity tray, humidifier, or misting the plant to maintain humidity, especially during dry seasons.

Fertilizing: Feed your Monstera Aurea Variegated with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in the winter when the plant’s growth slows down.

Pruning: Regularly prune your Monstera Aurea Variegated to maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth. Trim away any yellow or damaged leaves and consider providing a support structure, such as a moss pole, to help it climb if desired.

Repotting: Repot your Monstera Aurea Variegated when it becomes root-bound or outgrows its current pot. Spring is an ideal time for repotting. Select a slightly larger pot with good drainage to accommodate its growing root system.

Pest Control: Keep an eye out for common houseplant pests like mealybugs and spider mites. If you notice any infestations, promptly treat your plant with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
